Parsons also encourages remote work where possible, that is why I recently started working from home even though I am only 7 minutes from the office. Plus, I have a much better setup at home than I had at work.
I will take a look at what Allstate has for career options. Thank you.
Not sure how well I'd get along with home working, and not sure how well it would do with my whooping 10Mbps down and 1 Mbps up internet.
As a Brit, I think I'd be a bit too remote to be a home worker (or worker at all) 😉

We have offices in Belfast.

I work for a British company. We've had developers in AUS work for us

Understandable since Redgate did acquire an Australian firm and incorporated their technologies into their products. When I worked for School District 11 we purchased a product to allow us to compress our SQL Server backups. This product was cheaper than the Redgate tool and allowed us to use native backup and restore processes.
Never heard of the product until I read SQL Server magazine review of the product and it was the editors choice. We had some minor issues and the company went out of the way to work with us in fixing the problems, including calling us on their dime outside of their normal business hours. Even put us in direct contact with one of their developers. In addition, they actually gave me a free license including updates for personal use.
Just wish I could remember the name of the company and their product.

Dang, it got quiet around here again.
Not surprising with XMas a week away, I guess, so to those of you who celebrate the holiday, happy holidays!
Anyone got plans to see Star Wars this weekend?
December 18, 2019 at 2:30 pm
Happy Holidays to all! I don't think I'll see Star Wars this weekend. Even though I have a chance to go see it for free on Friday, plans changed so I won't be able to make it.

Merry Christmas to all.
I will be visiting my oldest daughter and my 4 grandkids over Christmas in TN.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.
Traveling back from the UK tomorrow and some catchup this weekend, so likely no Star Wars. Two kids home. Might go see it next week when all three are back

Merry Christmas All, hope you enjoy the holidays (those of you that get them off 😉 ).
Won't lie, I really don't want to go see the latest Star Wars film, I really did not enjoy the last one. Few friends are trying to get me to go, but they've openly admitted it's more to see my reactions to it, than anything. >_<

Happy holidays! Awaiting the reviews of the lastest star wars. Already missed Han Solo

I am looking forward to seeing the latest Star Wars movie. I will wait until the crowds die down a bit, probably when I get back from TN.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.

Happy Yuletide! Merry Christmas! Happy New Year!
Star Wars sucks (not the first two, chronological, films, just all the rest)!
Looking forward to going to see 1917 though.

I personally would not go as far as to say any of the Star Wars movies sucked. Some are better than others. I will say I dislike some of the changes to the originals. They are just movies, meant to entertain. Some have better story lines than others. I do have to say I really enjoyed Rogue One and how it tied right in to the first Star Wars movie.

That's so funny - that's my tactic as well. I've been trying to get my wife to watch the last movie, simply because I need to confirm the level of howling she will emit upon seeing the very end of the last one 🙂

Your lack of planning does not constitute an emergency on my part...unless you're my manager...or a director and above...or a really loud-spoken end-user..All right - what was my emergency again?

I was unbelievably close to walking out of the screening at the Leia in Space scene. /headdesk
